Initial volume fraction different from the patching value near velocity inlet

      In 2 phase Eulerian model for fluidized bed, I gave velocity inlet and pressure outlet boundary conditions. Before run i.e., at t=0 I found the value of solid volume fraction in the vicinity of the inlet lower than that of the patching value (Red region is initial volume fraction). Kindly explain the reason behind this. I however have patched the solid phase exactly above the velocity inlet and suspecting this as a possible reason. Kindly guide in this regard.

      Thank you
